How to Make Sure Your Gadgets Will Automatically Change Time for Daylight Savings

For some reason, we as humans have this twice-a-year ritual where we change all of the clocks around us. Fortunately, with most of our clocks connected to the Internet, the hassle of having to change the time manually is a thing of the past.

Still, it never hurts to make sure your gadget will change the time.

Why it matters to make sure your clock is correct

Your internal clock will still need a week or so to adjust, but your phone or computer’s clock has probably started to replace the wall clock you’ve had in your home or office. You don’t want to have your alarm go off at the wrong time, and you don’t want to have to rush to a meeting that doesn’t start for another hour.

How to adjust for DST on Windows

On your Windows device, open the Settings app.

Then select “Time & Language.”

Lastly, make sure the switch next to “Adjust for daylight saving time automatically” is toggled on. That’s it!
